The most common forms of acquired epilepsies arise following acute brain insults such as
traumatic brain injury, stroke, or central nervous system infections. Treatment is effective for …

Despite the ubiquity of sleep across phylogeny, its function remains elusive. In this review,
we consider one compelling candidate: brain plasticity associated with memory processing …

Granule cells in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus are thought to be essential to memory
function by decorrelating overlapping input patterns (pattern separation). A second …

As indicated by the profound cognitive impairments caused by cholinergic receptor
antagonists, cholinergic neurotransmission has a vital role in cognitive function, specifically …

The fact that information acquired before the onset of amnesia can be lost (retrograde
amnesia) has fascinated psychologists, biologists, and clinicians for over 100 years. Studies …

Based on recent molecular genetics, as well as functional and quantitative anatomical
studies, the basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic projections, once viewed as a diffuse system …

Clinical and experimental evidence suggests that hippocampal damage causes more
severe disruption of episodic memories if those memories were encoded in the recent rather …

Transfer of neuronal patterns from the CA3 to CA1 region was studied by simultaneous
recording of neuronal ensembles in the behaving rat. A nonlinear interaction among …

The axon collaterals of dentate granule cells have been analyzed with the aid of a
computerized microscope, following intracellular injections of horseradish peroxidase in …

The data on theta-modulation of neuronal activity in the hippocampus and related structures,
obtained by the author and her colleagues have been reviewed. Analysis of extracellularly …
